Chalk it up to Ignorance

These chalk outlines are supposed to remind us how horrible we were to drop the two big ones. I am always amused by this sort of arrogant self righteous camera snorkeling. Just what are these people protesting, year after year, with this showboating visual invective? An event that was inevitable, to get there faces pasted into the news, that's what.

What these villiage idiots really want to draw a chalk line around are these boys. This is precisely what the result would have been, had we relented in our duty. The key to winning a war is killing them, not us.

Maybe between lattes and Nikons, they can squeeze their milky scribes between these poor souls.

It might have worked better if they could find some one that could at least make a decent chalk outling. For Pete's sake it can't be that hard to do and yet they still screwed it up. Whatever happened to protestors that took pride in their protests.

What must it be like, to wake up every morning, and know that no matter how many peace marches and chalk-line protests you attend, that you have budged reality no closer to your vision of what it ought to be?
